HCOMP 2023 will be held this year in Delft, the Netherlands. The Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering (IDE) at TU Delft, and the city of Delft, hope to return to in-person engagements by organising a physical HCOMP 2023.

Overview: Since the advent of human computation and crowdsourcing, many tools and platforms have been developed in academia and industry. However, the lack of interconnectivity among them has hindered their full potential. Achieving interoperability would allow our community to provide the infrastructure for human-in-the-loop problem solving on a global scale. In this workshop, we invite people involved in these tools and platforms from both industry and academia to discuss potential ways to improve their interoperability. Our goal is to set a clear road map toward that goal and provide a draft that can serve as a first concrete step.
Chairs: Mark Díaz, Andrew Zaldivar, Rachel Rosen, Remi Denton, Vinodkumar Prabhakaran
Overview: Crowdsourced datasets are commonly used to develop a range of machine learning tools, such as hate speech classifiers and object detection systems. At the same time, scholars have pointed out a range of related ethical concerns, ranging from the conditions in which raters work and data is collected to the role of social experiences in shaping raters’ data judgments. One result of this work is a set of recent frameworks designed to guide data collection and bring increased transparency to crowdsourced dataset development. This half-day workshop will discuss data annotation and crowdsourcing for a variety of goals– including training dataset development, benchmark development, and model finetuning. A panel will kick off a discussion of ethical issues underlying the development and use of crowdsourced datasets and a breakout activity will guide participants in 1) unpacking crowdsourcing tensions in their own domain, 2) identifying the strengths of different dataset development frameworks in addressing these tensions, and 3) identifying tensions that remain to be addressed.
Chairs: Kostas Tsiakas, Mahan Mehrvarz, Dave Murray-Rust
Overview: This half-day tutorial/workshop aims to bring together designers, engineers, and practitioners to explore ways to support the prototyping of interactions between human users and AI/ML models. Through a combination of paper and screen based activities and tools, we will present our modeling approach for designing Human-AI interactions and guide participants in creating their own interactions. Participants will have the chance to present their own use cases and scenarios, and receive feedback, through the group activities and discussions. The goal of this workshop is to get insights towards bridging the gap between engineering and design practices while developing and deploying human-AI interaction systems.
Chairs: Dean McHugh, Federica Russo, Jean Wagemans
Overview: Computational argumentation is a rapidly growing field of research at the crossroads of argumentation theory, formal semantics, and computational linguistics. Within this field, there is a pressing need for having available larger corpora of annotated argumentative discourse. The general aim of this workshop is to address this need by exploring ways of combining human and machine annotation of argumentative discourse.
The workshop will take place on Monday 6 November 2023 at Delft University of Technology. It will consist of two parts: (1) presentations and a panel discussion about state-of-the-art methods, frameworks and tools for annotating argumentative discourse and the availability of annotated corpora of argumentative discourse; (2) discussion of research plans and exploration of collaboration between researchers with relevant expertise on argumentation theory, formal semantics, computational argumentation, and corpus linguistics.
Chairs: Cristian Consonni and Julián Vicens
Overview: Wikipedia has been described as "the last best place on the internet" to keep alive the ideals of collaboration of the early web. Its self-correcting mechanisms, lack of advertising, and open nature have earned it the public trust, rivaling even well-established sources. However, several dangers threaten Wikipedia and require constant work from its community: misinformation and fake news broadcasted by reputable sources, undisclosed paid editing, and coordinated efforts to introduce bias in articles all pose significant challenges to the integrity of the project. Recent developments, such as Large Language models and AI image generation, have sparked the community to enact policies to prevent the generation of potentially misleading content. This workshop explores all aspects of knowledge integrity in Wikipedia and other online collaborative projects. Topics of interest include misinformation, disinformation, and manipulation of information, including detection methods and strategies for combating them. Additionally, the workshop will address issues like trust, reputation, handling controversies, fostering a healthy community environment, and identifying destructive or toxic behavior. Furthermore, the significance of cybersecurity in tackling these issues is integral to the workshop's agenda. wikiKI will bring together scientists studying the socio-technical and collaborative aspects of Wikipedia and other online collaborative projects, providing a forum for academics, practitioners, and community members to discuss the problem of knowledge integrity on online collaborative projects from a socio-technical perspective.
